The many facets of a woman... she is everything you want her to be and more.
She is logical, She is mystical ; She is a charmer, She is a heart-breaker , She is a warrior, She is a lover ; She is the creator, She is the destructor…
She is real but obscure; She is soft but strong , She is unapologetic but honest; She is ordinary but bizarre…
She is beyond any explanation; she is beyond deep devotion, She is beyond sacrifice and pain; She is far beyond belief…
She is endless; She is unselfish, She is ephemeral; She is eternal…
She believes in Faithfulness; She believes in Kindness, She believes in Fierceness; She believes in oneness…
She is like the mystery of the creation; She is like the logic of the imagination…
She lose herself to be found; She love others to be loved…
She is the poetry, she is the poet; She is the dream, she is the dreamer; She is the art, she is the artist; She is the magic, she is the magician…
She has been tamed; She has been overpowered, She has been disheartened; She has been defeated…
She never runs; She never hides, She never loses; She never wins…
She made broken looks beautiful; She made strong looks invincible…
You can hurt her, but that’ll be temporary; You can break her, but that’ll be momentary…
They know nothing about her ; They know nothing about her pain and suffering , They know nothing about her ambition; They know nothing about her inhibition.
She is the queen who doesn’t need a king !
You know her… You met her… You recognize her… She lives within you… Yes, She is you!!!

Rajshri Deshpande, who played the fiery protagonist in Trial by Fire along with Abhay Deol speaks of her journey and her social work.
Rajshri Deshpande as the protagonist in ‘Trial by Fire’, the recent Netflix show has received raving reviews along with the show itself for its sensitive portrayal of the Uphaar Cinema Hall fire tragedy, 1997 and its aftermath.
The limited series is based on the book by the same name written by Neelam and Shekhar Krishnamoorthy, who lost both their children in the tragedy. We got an opportunity to interview Rajshri Deshpande who played Neelam Krishnamoorthy, the woman who has been relentlessly crusading in the court for holding the owners responsible for the sheer negligence.
Rajshri Deshpande is more than an actor. She is also a social warrior, the rare celebrity from the film industry who has also gone back to her roots to give to poverty struck farming villages in her native Marathwada, with her NGO Nabhangan Foundation. Of course a chance to speak with her one on one was a must!
“What is a woman’s job, Ramesh? Taking care of parents-in-law, husband, children, home and things at work—all at the same time? She isn’t God or a superhuman."
The arrays of workstations were occupied by people peering into their computer screens. The clicks of keyboard keys were punctuated by the occasional footsteps moving around to brainstorm or collaborate with colleagues in their cubicles. Most employees went about their tasks without looking at the person seated on either side of their workstation. Meenakshi was one of them.
The thirty-one-year-old marketing manager in a leading eCommerce company in India sat straight in her seat, her eyes on the screen, her fingers punching furiously into the keys. She was in a flow and wanted to finish the report while the thoughts and words were coming effortlessly into her mind.
Natu-Natu. The mellifluous ringtone interrupted her thoughts. She frowned at her mobile phone with half a mind to keep it ringing until she noticed the caller’s name on the screen, making her pick up the phone immediately.
